Human Resource Practices

Effective human resources practices address barriers facing diverse individuals at each stage of the employee lifecycle

Strong and transparent human resources practices are crucial to building diversity and inclusion into the employee lifecycle. Clear strategies are needed to address structural barriers and inequities that diverse people encounter in the workplace such as racism, biases, and lack of access to opportunities. Questions regarding who comprises selection and promotion committees, for example, must also be considered. The DAT highlights tools that can help organizations apply a diversity and inclusion lens on recruitment, selection, training, retention, promotion, and termination processes to craft an equitable pipeline for all employees into, through, and beyond the organization.
